PSALM 105
Song 3 and Prayer | Opening Comments (1 min.)
1. “He Remembers His Covenant Forever”
(10 min.)
Jehovah made a promise to Abraham and repeated it to Isaac and Jacob (Ge 15:18; 26:3; 28:13; Ps 105:8-11)
The fulfillment of this promise may have seemed unlikely (Ps 105:12, 13; w23.04 28 ¶11-12)
Jehovah never forgot his covenant with Abraham (Ps 105:42-44; it-2 1201 ¶2)
ASK YOURSELF, ‘How does Jehovah’s trustworthiness affect me?’

8. Expressions of Your Love
(15 min.) Discussion.
When we use our time, energy, and financial resources to support Kingdom activities, we are expressing our love for Jehovah’s enthroned Son, Christ Jesus. Such expressions of love endear us to Jehovah and benefit our brothers and sisters. (Joh 14:23) The jw.org article series “How Your Donations Are Used” shows the powerful impact that our donations have on the worldwide brotherhood.
